Resolved. Thank you.

Today, my ISY 99i stopped working. The red light on it is blinking, and when I open up the admin console, it's just a big blank blue screen. It won't let me do anything. I've restarted the computer and also unplugged and plugged the ISY back in several times. Can anyone help please? Thanks!

That is what I'm looking to do. I already have an iPhone and use Mobilinc. I'd just like to be able to turn the heat on/off as I walk in/out the door.
-
Is it possible to use a single button on my kpl to turn my heat on and off? How would this be accomplished? When warm weather rolls back around, I'd like to use the same button to turn the AC on and off. I have a Venstar with the Insteon dongle. Thanks!

Wow. That sounds complicated. I was going to use this: http://www.smarthome.com/31427/Add-A-Mo ... tor/p.aspx This would be plugged into the OutletLinc and controlled by an on/off command.

in about a month, I plan on installing an automatic chicken coop door. I'm planning on using an OutletLinc to control the motor. I was wondering if anyone here has done this, and if so, what does your program look like?

When I installed my EZFlora, I only had 4 zones, so I deleted the extra 4 from my ISY. What's the easiest way to get these zones to show back up in the ISY admin? Do I need to re-link?

I set up a couple of programs to turn on my motion sensor at night when I approach my front door. I used an example found elsewhere on this forum, but it doesn't seem to work. It doesn't seem to sense any motion. Can someone guide me in the right direction? First program: If From Sunrise - 10 minutes To Sunset + 10 minutes (same day) Then In Scene 'Front Porch Motion-Sensor' Set 'Porch Lights' 0% (On Level) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 2nd program: If From Sunset + 10 minutes To Sunrise - 10 minutes (same day) Then In Scene 'Front Porch Motion-Sensor' Set 'Porch Lights' 70% (On Level) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') On the MS itself, I have all jumpers in the off position. Thanks!

I'd like to be able to program a KPL button to toggle either heat or AC on using my Venstar T1800 with Dongle. Is this possible, and how is it best accomplished? My ultimate goal is to turn the heat or AC on/off as I either come in my home or leave it. Would it be possible to do this all from one button on the KPL?
-
Thanks! Glad to know it is a basic program. I've already changed the maximum run time.

I've recently purchased and installed an EZFlora. I'd like to set up different programs where I can execute a program from my iPhone and not have to worry about forgetting to turn off my zones. I've set up a simple program below that will irrigate each zone for 60 minutes. I was hoping you all could tell me if this will work. If it does, I'd like to set up different programs for different amounts of times, and different zone combinations. If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Irrigation / Veg Z1' On Wait 60 minutes Set 'Irrigation / Veg Z2' On Wait 60 minutes Set 'Irrigation / Cottage/Foundation' On Wait 60 minutes Set 'Irrigation / Japanese Garden' On Wait 60 minutes Set 'Irrigation / Japanese Garden' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I just removed the thermostat dongle and now the motion sensor works. It did not work prior to removing the dongle. They seem to be related, at least in my case. This certainly explains why I couldn't get a new motion sensor to link a few days ago, after working at it for almost 45 minutes. I'll try tomorrow to see if this new sensor links. Off to work right now.

I have a motion sensor that stopped working the same day that my thermostat lost communication with my ISY. This is the very first time (after three months of having it installed) that my thermostat has lost communication. I also have a couple of switchlincs that seemed to have lost communication as well. Haven't had time to troubleshoot yet, though.

My wife has to be up at 3am to get ready for work. I recently installed EcoSmart LED lights in my bathroom as well as a SwitchLinc dimmer. I wanted a program that would run weekdays at 3am so that when she turned the lights on, they would come on at a low level and slowly ramp up to about 75% (as 100% is just too bright for pretty much any time of day). The following program accomplishes this. I had a lot of help from memebrs of this forum, so I really can't take credit for the programming side, but I did want to share it with others. Basically, between the hours of 3am and 5am, if my SwitchLinc dimmer is turned on, the lights will come on at 35% and over an 8 minute period, ramp up to 75%. At any other time, they will come on at 75% with a .3 second ramp. I have my SwitchLinc labelled Master Bath Can Lights. I have this SwitchLinc in a scene called Early AM MB Can Lights as a Controller. The switchlinc is set with a 75% on level and .3 sec ramp rate for local control. The scene is set with a 75% on level and a 8 minute ramp rate. The switchlinc IS controlling the load locally. Program 1: If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 3:00:00AM To 5:00:00AM (same day) Then In Scene 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' Set 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' 35% (On Level) In Scene 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' Set 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' 0.3 Sec (Ramp Rate) Else In Scene 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' Set 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' 75% (On Level) In Scene 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' Set 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' 0.3 Sec (Ramp Rate) Program 2: If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 3:00:00AM To 5:00:00AM (same day) And Control 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' is switched On And Control 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' is not switched Off Then Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Early AM MB Can Lights' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') There is also a "fast Off" program as well. This allows the lights to go off immediately, rather than at the 8 minute ramp rate. If Control 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' is switched Off Then Set 'Bathrooms / Master Bath Can Lights' Fast Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I'm happy to report that the program executed properly this morning. My wife was pleased as punch not to be blinded at 3am. Thanks to EVERYONE that helped me out with this problem. I sure wish I had known about the ramp rate limitation when I started, as that may have prevented a lot of frustration. Thanks again, all!
